Kentucky Derby news: Eric Reed revels in huge Rich Strike upset at Churchill Downs

The chestnut colt's win will go down as the second biggest upset in the race's history, following Donerail at 91/1 in 1913.

Trainer and Kentucky native Reed said victory by three-quarters of a length was a dream come true.

Rich Strike ran one and a quarter miles in 2:02.61s and the victory was made all the more remarkable given that jockey Sonny Leon had to come through the 20-horse field.

"We've never entered a race we didn't think we could win. Ever."

1st time is a charm.

"It was amazing - amazing, especially the way we did it, in the last 50 yards, it's a dream come true."
